Shenandoah River River Report on 23rd Nov, 2022

Winter is the best time to catch that PB (Personal Best) fish of a Lifetime! The Smallmouth are in deeper water but can be called up to eat a Jerkbait. This is a great style to fish. As you retrieve your bait you'll sometimes see the fish appear out of the depths. Following your bait and strike it. It's as great as topwater strikes!

Potomac River - St. Mary's, MD River Report on Invalid Date

This was an epic topwater bite on the fly! When you watch the fly and out of the depths emerges a dark shadow you realize it's a quality Smallmouth. Then you see the take and your guy sets the hook. The fight, the bend in the rod the fish leaping out of the water then finally landing in the net! It may not be the biggest but it was my client's biggest freshwater fish. Just an epic moment in time not to be forgotten! The topwater bite is on! Get in on the action there's still time. The Potomac River has been on fire, we have been fishing for bass on the topwater and the bite has been excellent!
